- Interface Technologies: Expertise in ALE/IDoc configuration and custom development, BAPIs, and OData service creation for SAP Fiori applications.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience operating within an SAP S/4HANA environment, including knowledge of CDS Views and AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedures).
